Hilia kalosorisate,
fili mou aghapimeni
parea mou haroumeni
ke kalokardhismeni.

Amyghdhalaki tsakisa
ke mesa se zoghrafisa
amyghdhalotsakismata,
sou stelno heretismata.

As traghoudhiso ki as haro,
tou hronou pios to xeri,
an tha pethano i tha zo,
i tha 'me s' alla meri.

Amyghdhalaki tsakisa
ke mesa se zoghrafisa
amyghdhalotsakismata,
sou stelno heretismata.

I welcome you,
my dear friends,
happy and
cheerful company.

I cracked an almond,
I painted your picture,
broken almond,
I send you my compliments.
I shall sing and be merry,
who knows what next year will bring,
whether I'll be dead or alive,
or somewhere else.

I cracked an almond,
I painted your picture,
broken almond,
I send you my compliments.
